I have 30 plus years of child care experience. From 1990 to 1994 I was a live-in nanny in the Boston area. From 1998 to 2005 I was a licensed home daycare provider. In 2005 I went to work for a geriatric psychiatrist whom I was with for 12 years. I’ve been a full time nanny since 2018 and currently full time with a Kalamazoo family. I’m looking to pick up some occasional evenings and weekends.

Michelle F., Child Care in Dowagiac, MI 49047 with 2 years of paid experience

I am a nurturing caregiver with over 2 years of childcare experience, a background in Early Child Development, and a degree in psychology. I currently work at a daycare and am CPR/First Aid certified. I am comfortable caring for multiple children and providing a safe, engaging environment with play-based and educational activities. I’m happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and comfortable with animals! I’m expecting a baby in February and seeking a position that allows me to bring my infant along. I wouldn't be able to start until May due to recovery from my own delivery, but if you're at all flexible with the starting date, I would love the opportunity! Our kiddos could socialize and learn together too if that's something you'd like!

I love taking care of children and making life easier on parents who need the help and support. I’ve taken care of children my whole life and although I may not have any certifications I can guarantee only the best care for your child. My goal is to make sure your child has fun and can also learn and grow while in my care. I’m very flexible and can make almost anything work based of your schedule.
